throughout this and adjoining parish
es will come back to trade with Alex
andria, if the compress is built. Let
our people keep moving-we've seen
our darkest days and the bright future
is almost in sight. After our compress
is built, we then can talk Of erecting
cotton seed oil mill, as the two go
we'll together. Keep a stiff upper lip,
Alexandrians. Yon have the boss
town in Louisiana, and if you do not
make it grow in the next few years,
why, it's nobody's fault but your own.
The GoLDENs This famed theat-
rical troupe all favorites in Alexan-
dria, gave a most delightful rendition
of the comedy drama, Beatrice" on
Monday night to quite a crowd, the
larger portion of whom were ladies.
For some unavoidable reason, "The
Martyr" billed for that night was ia
ken off the boards and "Beatrice" was
substituted instead, and which was
first-class, and seemed to please all.
The fact of tho matter isthe Goldens
are perfect in all their different plays,
and are generally admired for their
bearing and acting on the stage.
Bella Golden, as usual, sustained
herself, and was an fat in all she did
Her voice is perfect, and every sylla-
bic uttered is plainly to be heard.
She understands her parts with a
knowledge superior to any one of her
kind who has come before the foot
lights here. She is hard to beat.
Of Martin Golden, the old favorite,
and. Frank Robinson, the comedian,
who, by the way, is new one to US,
as well as Miss Thurston and Mrs.
Savage, language will hardly tell how
we'll they acted. Robinson is wheel
horse, a funny man, indeed, and pos
sesses the happy faculty of making
most any one laugh. Miss Thurston
suits US to CT" and to find her SUI
perior would be task. Our friend
Martin G.-well, we won't say how
we'll he acts-everybody knows.
The Goldens gave a Matinee yes
terday evening, playing the "Daugb-
ter of the Regiment" as also per-
Torrance last night, playing edith
Cade," after which they took the train
70, Plaqnemines, where they play to-
night and tomorrow night. We re-
commend the Goldens as first-class
troupe, who will, at all times prove to
be the peoples popular favorites.
